You could always… you know… buy either a “work-only” PC (something like a Orange pi 5 max) or a “Windows PC” to play these games?

t. Got three “computers” with different functions and I’m about to have a 4th one.

Because you (still) have a lot to learn.

“Oh, look! One(1) game has been busted by the devs themselves and because of that, Linux gaming is dead as ever!”

lmao what

Just download proton-ge and set it to run with lutris.

t. That is how I ran the game.

Ow.

Indeed. A cellphone with google search opened in a browser is all you need.

I will be “that guy” and suggest you to watch a few linux-related videos before choosing. i.e go to youtube and search for “what is the best linux distro for beginners”, “how to install on (distro name goes here)”, “how to configure (audio, video, etc) on (distro name goes here)”, etc. Write em down, install the distro you wanna check, get used to those methods until they are stuck on your forehead. If you lose interest, go back to 1- and choose another distro.

Dietpi. Because I’m forced to.

Eyy! Glad to hear I’m not the only weirdo in this sub!

You guys use wallpapers?

Should we integrate easier access to running Winblows apps on GNU/Linux?

Why “we” should bother with that when -you- can do it yourself? Linux is a “free” ““operating system”” (Not absolutely free, but at least way more “free” than Windows) – learn the ways to do that and implement these changes yourself.

It could be (pretty much) any distro you want – considering scripts like armbian-gaming exists and can give you a “one stop shop” experience.

Why running scripts like these instead of downloading the “real thing”? When you have “obscure”/unsupported sbcs and you need to “make your own” version of it.

a lot of people i know

So…gamers, and maybe a few youtubers with less than 10 subscribers? Nah, we güd.

Last time I tried convincing em to install Linux, they said “I’m on it” to end up ghosting me after like I was a weird, random beggar they met on the street.

software problems

Not having “out of the box” support does not make it a problem tho.

quality of distros

All distros are the same, considering they all run GNU/Linux and anyone can configure em at will.

It’s pretty good. Even better than the raspberry pi 4 considering its performance and comically low power draw (It doesn’t go over the 2W mark even with both cpu and gpu at 100%.). Other than that, it’s perfectly usable, despise its lack of (out of the box) support.

As a proud Orange pi zero 3 owner (which I’m using it as a “lab rat” by testing several things, including shutting it down like its a router)…? Nah.

You can always consider the experience of using Linux as a “game” itself and DU ET NAO!

…no really. Do it.

…and that is why I love Linux as well! Gotta love my little potato Orange pi zero 3.

I tried it once and got ignored like a beggar trying to talk with randoms on the street.
